At that point we could just have scripty push the translations on the
daily runs surely? There's little point taking a round trip through the
release scripting if we effectively end up having translations in the
repo anyway, so we could just treat them like the desktop/xml
translations and have scripty forward them from svn into git.

I'm rather +1 to streamlining the translation handling. At the same time
I'm not sure if only doing this only for frameworks is all that cool,
but then I suppose frameworks is the less complicated. *shrug* I guess ;)
